The human race is a vast herd - one that John Constantine separated himself from a long time ago. The lonely path he's taken since then hasn't been an easy one, but in the end it's probably been for the best. Given his notoriety as England's greatest street-level sorcerer, every tie that binds him to his fellow man is just another potential weapon for his infernal enemies to use against him.Self-sufficiency, however, can all too easily shade into complacency - a lesson that John forgets when a desperate stranger corners him in a bar and pleads for his help. The simple spell he performs for his petitioner quickly ensnares the famed magician in a much larger web of ancient, elemental magic - and transfers his new acquaintance's crippling burden of universal empathy squarely onto his shoulders.Now Constantine must wage war against not only the powerful magus responsible for this hellish curse, but also the unfiltered emotions of an entire city. Typical for John's luck, that city is Glasgow, Scotland - a world center for alcoholism, depression and barely concealed rage.Celebrated crime novelist Denise Mina teams with acclaimed artists Leonardo Manco and Cristiano Cucina to feel each other's pain in Hellblazer Vol. 19: The Red Right Hand, collecting Mina's complete run on the series from issues #216-228 as well as the never-before-reprinted story "With a Little Help from My Friends" from issue #229 by Hellblazer emeritus author Mike Carey and guest artist John Paul Leon.

Acclaimed author Mike Carey concludes his groundbreaking run on London's working-class magus with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 18: THE GIFT.To restore his mind and save his life, John Constantine was forced to give a day of his life to a she-demon named Rosacarnis. It was a bad bargain, and one that he knew he'd regret - but he had no idea how quickly everything would go straight to hell in its aftermath.Over the course of that single day, England's savviest street sorcerer lived several lifetimes - and sired three infernal offspring, whose incandescent hatred of him was carefully nurtured by their mother.Luckily for Constantine, the blood he shares with his sulfurous brood makes it impossible for them to kill him outright. Unluckily, his dwindling roster of friends and loved ones enjoy no such protection. And now that war has been declared on all that John holds dear, the lives and souls of his best friend, his ex-flame, his niece and his sister are all fair game for the non-existent mercies of Rosacarnis and her family.Can Constantine defeat his progeny, their mother and their all-powerful grandfather? Or will the so-called gift of fatherhood finally be the death of him?Collects issues #202-215 of the signature VERTIGO series and featuring the artistic talents of Leonardo Manco, Frazer Irving, Giuseppe Camuncoli and Lorenzo Ruggiero.

Yet England's savviest street sorcerer has always managed to survive, with both his mind and the world at large left (mostly) intact.Now he's about to make the biggest mistake of his magical life - and every soul on Earth will pay the price.Thanks to Constantine's carelessness, the Beast of the Apocalypse has slouched into London to be born, and the minds of all humanity are at its mercy. From the Swamp Thing to Lucifer himself, the Hellblazer's allies and enemies alike are powerless to stop the slaughter.In order to save the world, Constantine must sacrifice his own mind, and all of the memories that go with it.

And if so, will the resulting life actually be a fate much worse than death?This volume collects issues 189-201 of the signature VERTIGO series and features the all-star artistry of Marcelo Frusin, Leonardo Manco, Chris Brunner and Steve Dillon.

After spending a year and a half wandering through the darkest corners of America, John Constantine has returned home! His port of entry is Liverpool, where the decaying landscape and gentle undercurrent of despair match his frame of mind.Of course, no sooner does he set foot upon his native land than he stumbles into a small-time necromancy-and-murder ring centered on his own sister's apartment building. More worrying than this sordid little power trip is the disappearance of his niece, Gemma, who's turning out to be a bit too much like her uncle for anybody's good. In her eagerness to learn the family trade, Gemma has gone to London and fallen in with a bad crowd, and pulling her out means that Constantine will have to join the search for a distinctly nasty magical artifact-one that shouldn't fall into anyone's hands, least of all those of the man determined to find it.Critically acclaimed author Mike Carey kicks off his acclaimed run on England's legendary magus with JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER VOL. 16: THE WILD CARD, collecting issues #175-188 of the signature Vertigo series and featuring the fan-favorite artistic talents of Marcelo Frusin, Steve Dillon, Lee Bermejo, Doug Alexander Gregory and Jock.
